Yes: The "gramo socket" should be an audio input. In the USA we call it a "phono" input (for phonograph). In the UK, Australia and New Zealand, it's called gramophone.
But anyway...
This input was originally for the set owner to connect a phonograph, er, gramophone to that input. You can use it for any audio device needing amplification, provided that the input is isolated from the radio with a capacitor. It should have a capacitor inside providing that isolation. But only the set's schematic would tell for certain.
So, you could use your radio to amplify your iPod, myPod, yourPod, hisPod, herPod, etc.

While this link shows how to wire up an iPod input to a radio that did not have one originally, it will also show how to use this input for modern devices.
Oh, David, I received your email, thanks very much - I will send you a reply later on today, if that's OK.
